Default Re: How To Deal With Trim/Vin Tags On Ebay

Bill, I was under the impression that the companies that reproduce trim tags will only do so for a damaged or illegible tag. It is my understanding they will change things on a tag such as car color, interior color, etc, but they will not make a Camaro into a Z-28, Lemans into GTO, etc. There must be some sort of problem with it as every cowl tag that gets listed on Ebay is posted here and everyone who keeps records such as CRG document the info for future reference. As for VINs, they are illegal to sell, but then you find a situation like the Mustang front clip with attached VIN which since it is on a "car" so to speak can be sold. What would be the reason for buying such a thing? Pretty obvious. In this case the Boss registry has got together and are buying it to make sure it doesnt become a car. I dont think it would be a unheard of idea to pick the cowl tags up when available(they dont sell for much), seems better to be safe. If we get a group of guys pitching in to buy them it would be personal choice for anyone to donate to the fund. Seems like it might be one way to help eliminate fraud.
